Ville, I've had the same issue with windows completely disappearing. The workaround is to completely disable the screen saver:
  * sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
  * Start scrensaver from the main menu
  * Disable the screensaver by setting Display Mode to "Disable Screen Saver", and in Advanced uncheck "Fade to Black when Blanking"
  * sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver

Now the windows only move between monitors instead of completely disappearing.

Hopefully the workaround for monitors turning off/on - window position memory - will be enabled at some future release.
